It would totally be unwise for "Tokyo Ghoul" not to push through with its much-anticipated Season 3 after making some serious money as well as landing at the top 10 of Japan's manga series. Production delays for this promising dark fantasy in the anime industry are very much evident, it even came up to the verge of cancellation rumors. So with the recent reports popping up, it's a really good thing that the anime is definitely coming back early next year.
Problems with production
Recent reports have said that the delays are due to some hindrances happening with the production team. Although not confirmed, the sequel is heavily speculated to be ready to March 2017. They have now confirmed that Tokyo Ghoul is not anymore coming by year's end, but they also cannot afford not coming back at all anytime soon.
Some episodes are already set for release, but the problem now is the lack of quantity to be able to complete the whole Season 3. To be able to allow uninterrupted viewing, the production team needs to find ways to speed up with the missing materials.
Tokyo Ghoul is growing in popularity
"Tokyo Ghoul" is currently a part of Japan's top 10 list manga series. Its first big major commercial success came when it managed to hit the highest sales record for the last concluded season. Experts claim that continued airing and consistency are essential for tie series' retention and expansion, as well as maintaining its growing fan base.
No cancellation for Tokyo Ghoul
Recent reports can actually confirm that there's really no truth behind the rumored cancellation of "Tokyo Ghoul." It's actually quite the opposite, as the series has managed to remain popular despite the delays due to deferred announcements of it coming back. "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 is going to happen relatively soon, but the March 2017 premiere schedule can only be worth if the production team manages to the full episode lineup.
